Auto Adjusting UIButton On a UIView

Here is a simple requirement
- You can have any number of UIButtons say from 2 to 5, you need to adjust them in the horizontal view with each tags

2 Buttons Example :

5 Buttons Example :

   return button;  
 }

   self = [super initWithFrame:frame];  
   if (self) {  
   }  
   return self;  
 }  
 - (void)drawRect:(CGRect)rect  
 {  
   [self baseInit];  
 }  
 @end  

Finally On your View Controller

 #import "BGGridButtonsView.h"  
 @interface TestVC : UIViewController  
  <BGGridButtonsViewDelegate>  

 -(void) viewDidAppear:(BOOL)animated   {  
   BGGridButtonsView *buttonsGrid = [[BGGridButtonsView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 320, 40)];  
   buttonsGrid.buttonNames = @[ @"Call", @"PMS"];  
   buttonsGrid.tag = 1;  
   buttonsGrid.backgroundColor = [UIColor redColor];  
   [self.view addSubview:buttonsGrid];  
 }  

 #pragma mark Delegate Method  
 -(void) selectedButton:(int)buttonNo forTagNo:(int)tagNo {  
   DLog(@"%d , %d",buttonNo, tagNo);  
 }  

Git setup on Mac, Linux or Unix using Terminal

Git global setup:

git config --global user.name "Bishal Ghimire"

git config --global user.email  "you@ youremail.com"

Create Repository

mkdir yourProject

cd yourProject

git init

touch README

git add README

git commit -m 'first commit'

git remote add origin git@git.youremail.com: yourProject.git

git push -u origin master

Existing Git Repo?

cd existing_git_repo

git remote add origin git@git. youremail.com:yourProject.git

git push -u origin master

That is it ... 

Bonus Codes

Force Push Local to server

git push origin master --force

Force Pull From Server to local

# fetch from the default remote, origin
git fetch
# reset your current branch (master) to origin's master
git reset --hard origin/master

Branch and Merge

# fetch from the default remote, origin
git fetch
# create a branch at your current master
git branch old-master
# reset to origin's master
git reset --hard origin/master
# merge your old master, keeping "our" (origin/master's) content
git merge -s ours old-master

Common Git Issues And Solutions 

Issue 1 : "File Locked, unable to edit in XCode"

Solution : Change File Read Write permission 

As you have made force changes from the file from internet you are more likely to lock the files, which XCode will not allow you to edit all you can do is read the files only !
To chage that on your root folder of your terminal

sudo chmod -R 0777 ./*

Issue 2 : “fatal: remote origin already exists”

Solution :
Other 'origin' alreadt exists on remote server or is already on use

git remote rm origin
git remote add origin git@youremail.github.com:youriOSapp/my_app.git

git push -u origin --all # pushes up the repo and its refs for the first time

Issue 3: .gitignore file not ignoring

resync-git-repo-with-new-gitignore-file

git rm -r --cached .

git add .git commit -m ".gitignore is now working"

git-mergetool

git-mergetool - Run merge conflict resolution tools to resolve merge conflicts
Syntax - 

git mergetool [--tool=<tool>] [-y | --[no-]prompt] [<file>...]

Eg -
git mergtool --tool=emerge

Keyboard Tips 
n =  next
a / b = alter version

Discover and organize Github alternate repositories

Do you use lots of framework in your project. If so you must be using Cocoapods.
But what if you want to find alternate solution to your current framework .

Try Gitrep.

For example if you want to try RestKit as framework but explore alternate framework then
go to this link
http://gitrep.com/users/RestKit/repos/RestKit
It will show u other similar alternate framework.

But if you want to learn RestKit follow this stackover flow answer.

And for facebook's popular framework three20 - which no longer supported has alternate nimbus

http://gitrep.com/users/facebook/repos/three20

Happy Discovering :)

Xcode plug-in to autocomplete name for image and Color

Xcode plug-in that provides autocomplete for imageNamed

Can't remember whether that image you just added to the project was called button-separator-left or button-left-separator? Now you don't have to, because this will autocomplete your imageNamed: calls like you'd expect. Just type in [ NSImage imageNamed: or [ UIImage imageNamed: and all the images in your project will conveniently appear in the autocomplete menu.

For UIColor we have :
